Time Zone

Whenever people ask me about Myanmar my response is, "It is the strangest/weirdest place I've ever been." Naturally they say, "Why?" and then I try to explain. I think one reason the country is so weird is that it is stuck in the twighlight zone. By twighlight zone I mean its time zone is a half hour different then the majority of the rest of the world. I've never been somewhere that is a half hour behind or a half hour ahead of other time zones. I'm not even sure I knew that time zones like that existed.
